Stick to the SMART values mentioned in the FAQ for failure probability calculation
https://www.snapraid.it/faq#smart mentions five SMART values to be of particular importance when judging the disks health:
- Reallocated_Sector_Ct (5)
- Reported_Uncorrect (187)
- Command_Timeout (188)
- Current_Pending_Sector (197)
- Offline_Uncorrectable (198)
However, the calculation performed by snapraid smart
also uses Load_Cycle_Count (193), which I find confusing (see #16).
This PR makes snapraid stick to the documented values and avoids confusion.
Hi @saladpanda
For now, I'm going to put this on hold. I understand that checking this attribute may be somewhat controversial, but on the other hand, I think it's useful to be notified if it increases significantly.
I'll do some research to see if I can find anything conclusive about it.
Ciao, Andrea
Can we get the failure probability calculation as a standalone executable or as a bash script? I find it really useful, and would love to use it from inside scripts in different systems (arm/i386). Maybe someone has done some work following this approach.
